Thread Name: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
Subject: RE: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
Robertson is an idiot. But he did not order the death of Chavez. He foolishly commented that it would be a good thing, but he did not order it. Nor is his "religion" one where anyone misunderstood it as an "order" like a fatwah. If anyone did misunderstand it, it was exactly that -- misunderstood.

The problem is not how "fundamental" a religion is. The problem is what the fundamentals are.
